The celebration is scheduled to begin at 6pm and continue until the early hours of the morning. Table bookings are available through 79270015, while patrons arriving after 8pm will pay an entrance fee of E100.
Speaking ahead of the event, DJ Cup expressed his excitement about celebrating both his birthday and his musical journey with supporters.
“June 19 is actually my birthday, so we’ll be rocking the Prime-Time Party with our special guest D.General from South Africa, who is well known in the Deep House scene. I can’t wait for this show. We will be celebrating my achievements in music and the growth of the DJ Cup brand. People should come through expecting fire performances and amazing vibes. We also have a phenomenal local lineup,” he said.
The celebration comes during an exciting period in DJ Cup’s career. Recently, he was selected to represent Eswatini at the prestigious Kings of House 20.26 event in Mozambique on July 11, 2026. Organised by Gloom Events, the international showcase will feature house music stars from Spain, Brazil, South Africa, and Mozambique.
With over a decade of experience in the music industry, DJ Cup has performed in Eswatini, South Africa, Tanzania, and Mozambique. He is also known for producing popular deep house podcast mixes and serves as the Operations Director of NewLife Entertainment.
